Nintendo eShop Europe downloads have been released by Nintendo for October 25th. There is no way I’m posting this news story without questioning that Professor Layton price point, £39.99 seems rather high for a handheld game. Don’t get me wrong I’ve played Professor Layton and it’s a great series that everyone should at least try out once but I’m not so sure it’s £39.99 great.
Anyway if you hate carrying little game cards with you and would rather have it all installed on your 3DS ready to go then by all means rock on. Also in case you’ve not noticed, Nintendo have been releasing full retail games on the eShop for a while now. Titles like Ocarina of Time, StarFox and Mario Kart can all be found on the eShop for all you rich people.
Here’s all the fun stuff you can expect this Thursday, remember Thursday not right now.
